BBQ Stakes 25 November 2009

BBQ Stakes.

Winner today was Matthew Murphy, being his 12th win,

45 runners again today on a very hot day. This number is reasonably stable these days. Hot or cold, always a good field.

Second was Ian Hore, with Raymond Chao coming in third. Raymond is another of the AIPO running team. John Busteed again ran. Martin Friar probably still in recovery mode following his win in the Deep Space marathon, in record time, on the weekend had to attend a meeting, so was not in the stakes today.

Steve Smith gave notice that he would like a takeover of the handicapping role to occur, sometime in the new year. Steve has been in this role for a number of years now.

So if you would like to talk to Steve about the handicapping role, he would be pleased to hear from you.

Don't forget the Christmas BBQ Stakes relays on Wednesday 9th December commencing 5:30 pm. $4 entry, with eats and drinks afterwards, line up your team partner now. Each pair in a team, tries to finish closest to 40 minutes.
